When a three-run lead became one after five innings, Robin Brand considered handing the ball to a relief pitcher.
In the end, the Mount Vernon softball coach stuck by senior Amanda Roe, and Roe made sure her coach's faith paid off in a big way.
Roe (13-9) breezed through the first four innings by allowing just two hits and no runs with four strikeouts as the Mustangs built a 3-0 lead. After the aforementioned two-run fifth inning, Roe allowed three more hits over the final two frames, but no more runs.
A gutsy win over rival Solon has Mount Vernon in the state softball tournament for the fourth time in five years July 16, 2019

Those weren't limousines. Those were fire trucks the West Liberty Comets boarded.
Make history, and you get lights and sirens.
Fourth-ranked West Liberty jumped on No. 8 Anamosa early and coasted to a 7-2 victory in Monday's Class 3A softball regional final at West Liberty Elementary School.
